and inspections on the unit and the field wiring have to be carried out
at regular intervals.
This maintenance shall be carried out by the installer or service
agent.

10.1. Maintenance activities

Cautions before obtaining maintenance and service

DANGER: ELECTRIC SHOCK
■
Before carrying out any maintenance or repair activity,
always switch off the circuit breaker on the supply
panel, remove the fuses or open the protection
devices of the unit.
■
Make sure that before starting any maintenance or
repair activity, also the power supply to the outdoor
unit is switched off.
■
Do not touch live parts for 10 minutes after the power
supply is turned off because of high voltage risk.
■
The heater of the compressor may operate even in
stop mode.
■
Please note that some sections of the electric
component box are hot.
■
Make sure you do not touch a conductive section.
■
Do not rinse the indoor unit. This may cause electric
shocks or fire.
■
When service panels are removed, live parts can be
easily touched by accident.
Never leave the unit unattended during installation or
servicing when service panel is removed.
See "2. General safety precautions" on page 2.
NOTICE
Touch a metal part by hand (such as the stop valve) in
order to eliminate static electricity and to protect the PCB
before performing service.
DANGER
■
Do not touch water pipes during and immediately after
operation as the pipes may be hot. Your hand may
suffer burns. To avoid injury, give the piping time to
return to normal temperature or be sure to wear
proper gloves.
■
Do not touch the refrigerant pipes during and
immediately after operation as the refrigerant pipes
may be hot or cold, depending on the condition of the
refrigerant flowing through the refrigerant piping,
compressor, and other refrigerant cycle parts. Your
hands may suffer burns or frostbite if you touch the
refrigerant pipes. To avoid injury, give the pipes time to
return to normal temperature or, if you must touch
them, be sure to wear proper gloves.
■
Do not touch the internal parts (pump, backup heater,
etc.) during and immediately after operation.
Your hands may suffer burns if you touch the internal
parts. To avoid injury, give the internal parts time to
return to normal temperature or, if you must touch
them, be sure to wear proper gloves.

Maintenance and service

The described checks must be executed at least once a year.
1 Water pressure
Check if the water pressure is above 1 bar. If necessary add
water.
2 Water filter
Clean the water filter.
3 Water pressure relief valve
Check for correct operation of the pressure relief valve by
turning the red knob on the valve counter-clockwise:
■ If you do not hear a clacking sound, contact your local dealer.
■ In case the water keeps running out of the unit, close both
the water inlet and outlet shut-off valves first and then contact
your local dealer.
4 Pressure relief valve hose
Check that the pressure relief valve hose is positioned
appropriately to drain the water.
If the (optional) drain pan kit is installed, make sure that the
pressure relief valve hose end is positioned in the drain pan.
5 Backup heater vessel insulation cover
Check that the backup heater insulation cover is fastened tightly
around the backup heater vessel.
6 Domestic hot water tank pressure relief valve (field supply)
Applies only to installations with a domestic hot water tank.
Check for correct operation of the pressure relief valve on the
domestic hot water tank.
7 Domestic hot water tank booster heater
Applies only to installations with a domestic hot water tank
It is advisable to remove lime buildup on the booster heater to
extend its life span, especially in regions with hard water. To do
so, drain the domestic hot water tank, remove the booster heater
from the domestic hot water tank and immerse in a bucket (or
similar) with lime-removing product for 24 hours.
8 Indoor unit switch box
■ Carry out a thorough visual inspection of the switch box and
look for obvious defects such as loose connections or
defective wiring.
■ Check for correct operation of contactors K1M, K2M, K3M,
K5M (applications with domestic hot water tank only) and
K4M by use of an ohmmeter. All contacts of these contactors
must be in open position.
WARNING
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its service agent or similary qualified
persons to avoid a hazard.
